Summary:

Gin Ichimaru survives Aizen’s attack and escapes into the World of the Living. In doing so, he finds himself hiding in plain sight in Karakura Town. He finds himself, however, drawn to a powerless Ichigo. He senses someone else is watching him as well, and finds himself doing something he didn’t think was possible: caring for what happens to Ichigo. When something comes for Ichigo and escapes to Hueco Mundo with the vulnerable human, Gin finds an unlikely ally, and along the way, learns a lot about what he really is and is not.
